The ex-wife of slain former NBA player Lorenzen Wright has been arrested in California in connection with his death, sources close to the investigation said Friday.

The arrest of Sherra Wright-Robinson came after the Dec. 5 indictment of Billy R. Turner in the former basketball player's death. Turner was a deacon at Mt. Olive No. 1 Missionary Baptist Church in Collierville, where Wright's ex-wife was a former member.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said a Sherra Wright was booked Friday night into the Robert Presley Detention Center.

Marion said she believes her former daughter-in-law was motivated by money, specifically a $1 million life insurance policy held by Lorenzen Wright.

In 2014, Wright-Robinson agreed to a confidential settlement in a dispute in Circuit Court over how she spent $1 million in insurance meant to benefit their six children.

Seven years later I bet she’s pissed. I can only imagine that after a few months or so one would feel like they got away...I’m going to have to follow this case. I don’t even remember him being killed🤦🏿‍♂️
